Telkom Kenya is the sole provider of landline phone services in Kenya. It was previously a part of the Kenya Posts and Telecommunications Corporation which was the sole provider of both postal and telecommunication services. The company operates and maintains the infrastructure over which Kenya's various internet service providers operate. As of 2004, most internet service is provided via dial-up service. Jambonet, an important Kenyan ISP, is a subsidiary of Telkom Kenya.
